GRANDPA'S CHAIR

Burns:
*The scrapings of a raw potato will draw the fire from burns. Then add a salve of talcum powder and vaseline.

Chest congestion:

*Render the fat from a polecat (skunk). Eat two or three teaspoons. this will bring up the flem. (along with your lunch!)
*Wear a flannel shirt with turpentine and lard on it all winter.

Colds:

*Boil pine needles to make a strong tea

*Drink whiskey and honey.

*Eat onions roasted in ashes.

Cramps:
*To cure cramps in the feet, turn your shoes upside down before going to bed.

Earache:
*Dissolve tablesalt in lukewarm water and pour into ear. This desolves the wax which is causing the pain.

*Break open a Betty bug(?) and squeeze one or two drops of blood into your ear.

Fever:
*Tie a bag containing the sufferers nail clippings to an eel. It will carry the fever away.
Bee sting:

*Take seven different types of leaves and wad and twist them together. Tear the wad in half and rub on the sting.
Spider bite:

*If bitten by a Black Widow spider, drink heavily from Three p.m. to seven p.m. You won't get drunk, you'll be healed. (What if you're bitten after seven p.m.?)
Freckles: *Mix buttermilk and lemon juice together and put on freckles to remove them. (Don't be spotted doing this.)

*Put stump water on them.

*Apply a poultice of eggs, cream and epsom salts. Remove when dry.

Bruises:

*Bind salty fat meat to a stone bruise or thorn in the foot to draw out the inflamation. A poultice of clay will do the same thing. (but won't be nearly as attractive to the chihuahua dog.)

Nosebleed:

*Take a small piece of lead and bore a hole in it. Put a string through the hole and wear it around your neck. Your nose won't bleed again.

*Place a nickle between the upper lip and the gum, directly under the nose.

*Lie down and put a dime on your heart.

*Place scissors on your neck, points up.(sounds like you prevent the flow of blood to the nose by diverting it at the neck.)

Pain killer:

*Roast some poke weeds by the fire. Scrape them clean with a knife and grind up. Make a poultice out of the powder and apply to the bottom of the foot. It will draw pain out of anywhere in the body.(I think we roasted weeds like that in college)

Nightmares:

*Place a Bible under your pillow and you'll never have nightmares.
